The interest rates of consumer loans have risen again. With the gradual recovery of household consumption, many banks have lowered their loan rates in order to seize the consumer credit market. Beijing Business Daily reporters have noticed that by the middle of the year, some banks have once again launched a price war on consumer loan interest rates, using methods such as issuing interest rate discount coupons and coupons to grab customers.
